World-renowned musician Stevie Wonder, 69, announced to his fans attending a concert in London on July 7 that he will soon be receiving a kidney transplant.
 
According to the National Kidney Foundation- More than 100,000 Americans are waiting for a kidney transplant right now. Thousands of successful organ and tissue transplants take place each year. Kidney and corneal transplants are the most common. The majority of organs and tissues are donated at the time of death and then matched with people on the transplant waiting list. Donated organs are matched with individuals on the waiting list according to factors that include blood and tissue types, medical need, length of time waiting, and geography.

Keeping Mr. Stevie Wonder and his family in our continued prayers. 

Many kidney patients never get a transplant because they are afraid to ask their family and friends for help. If you or a loved one needs help finding a living donor, please visit www.kidney.org/livingdonation. NKF’s THE BIG ASK: THE BIG GIVE program can help, and it includes direct patient and caregiver support through our toll-free helpline 855-NKF-CARES, All of these resources are free and designed to teach kidney patients, or their advocates, how to make a “big ask” to their friends, loved ones, or community to consider making a “big give,” a lifesaving living organ donation.  For more information, visit www.kidney.org/livingdonation. Also visit NKF’s Spanish-language resources.

DID YOU KNOW:
In the United States 37 million adults are estimated to have chronic kidney disease—and most aren’t aware of it.  1 in 3 American adults are at risk for chronic kidney disease.  Risk factors for kidney disease include diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity and family history.  People of African American, Hispanic, Native American, Asian or Pacific Islander descent are at increased risk for developing the disease.  African Americans are 3 times more likely than Whites, and Hispanics are nearly 1.5 times more likely than non-Hispanics to develop end stage renal disease (kidney failure).

The number one killer in the world right now is not really animal fat, but sugar. I am not saying we should all start eating meat again. I will never stop reminding people that it's wrong to kill. I am just saying we should stop consuming sugar and other bleached food products like white bread, white rice and synthetic vinegar. It's really bad for our health. I wish we can all do something to remove all of these from supermarket shelves. It could ruin someone else's family business for generations but if only they can understand they are saving people from death, I am sure they will comply.

I am one of the many fans of Stevie Wonder because of his wonderful hit songs. I am glad that he will have a kidney transplant that will surely help prolong his life. The kidney is one of the important organs in our body. Kidney has an important role in cleaning the waste in our body, it also creates hormones that help produce red blood cells, kidney failure may result in death if ignored.

TV commercials don’t need to be crazy expensive to produce or to air, and can be a great fit for even a small local company
